Rescued from boy band hell, the dance routine has been well and truly defibrillated back to life. And I for one am huzzahing heartily. I love a slightly amateurish but enthusiastic co-ordinated wiggle. Here are my favourite dance (or bike!) routines in videos, past and present. Proof that time and sweat is often better than big budgets in pop.

I'm Alive by Vincent Vincent and the Villains

What's a Girl to Do? by Bat For Lashes

The Dark of the Matinee by Franz Ferdinand

Here It Goes Again by OK GO (yes, it's been everywhere, yes it's old, but how could I miss it out?)

I'm Kate, and I live in London.
I like to buy lots and lots of cheap stuff. A thrifty spendaholic. And watch trashy telly, listen to trashy music and watch trashy films.
I like camp and serious and childish and pretentious, but most of all, I like bold. I know what stuff is good, and what is bad. And I'm going to tell you all about it. Possibly at insufferable length.
